 .SH BUGS
+Do not use greater than (>) or pound sign (#) in device banners.  These
+are the normal terminating characters of device prompts and the login
+scripts need to locate the initial prompt.  Afterward, the full prompt
+is collected and makes a more precise match so that the scripts know
+when the device is ready for the next command.
+.PP
 All these login scripts for separate devices should be rolled into one.
+This goal is exceedingly difficult.
